Most food processing and beverage manufacturing companies assume that food contact surfaces appear visibly clean are sanitary . Bacteria like Salmonella and Escherichia coli ( E . coli ) exhibit resistance to conventional soaps and detergents . As a result , the risk of bacterial contamination remains inadequately addressed , irrespective of the thoroughness of surface cleaning efforts .
Cleaning and sanitising are not the same but , rather , two separate procedures . Cleaning helps increase the effectiveness of sanitisation efforts by removing organic material such as dirt , soil , and debris at a visible surface level . This organic matter can be a breeding ground for bacteria . Cleaning first and then sanitising , at Total Clean we follow protocol ensuring your space is not just clean but also safe for all occupants .
Microbiological safety hazards , encompassing pathogenic bacteria , viruses , and parasites , pose a significant threat to food safety and public health . This leads to food poisoning , when consuming food contaminated with microorganisms .
Poor food handling , storage , and hygiene . Symptoms , such as diarrhoea , vomiting , nausea , and fever , can appear hours to weeks later , depending on the microorganism . Severe cases can be life-threatening , posing greater risks to vulnerable groups like those with weakened immune systems , expectant mothers , the elderly , and children . By entrusting Total Clean with your food hygiene service provision , you mitigate the risk of cross-contamination , safeguarding both your clientele and your esteemed reputation .
The Law
While it might be easy to overlook , but it is actually a legal requirement to provide employees with a safe working environment . The Health and Safety Executive has outlined guidance on having a safe place to work . Some of the essential tasks you must ensure in your workplace are :
- Provide clean premises , furniture and fittings - Remove dirt , refuse and trade waste regularly - Clean toilets and hand basins - Good ventilation - Sufficient workspace
These all come under the Workplace ( Health , Safety and Welfare ) Regulations 1992 . The aim of this is to reduce work-related incidents of death , injury and ill health . To take the worries out of meeting all of these regulations why not use Total Clean , with offices around the UK , to help with your cleaning needs .
